Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put the scales of justice at the center like this Red Oak badge?

Yes. The scales are engraved into a round disc at the heart of the star, struck in relief so the beam and pans read clearly. The disc can instead carry a state or city seal, a monogram, or another emblem, and you approve the center design on a free proof before tooling.

Can the badge number be set into the lettering ring?

Yes. The ring around the lower star carries the city, the badge number, and the state separated by bars, and the number is struck individually on each piece in the order. It can also move to its own panel if you prefer.

What does a badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The ball-tipped star, scroll filigree, and engraved center are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, silver plating, the lettering fill, and per-badge number striking.

Can the bands be re-lettered for other ranks?

Yes. POLICE and POLICE OFFICER re-letter to any agency or rank wording, and the ring re-letters to your own city and state. The same design can also strike in gold or two-tone.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
